I really prefer a QB who can not just extend plays with his legs, but is a threat with them a la Cam and Fields.

Part of the thing that has impressed me about Darnold is his scrambling ability, being able to keep the play alive and look for the best opportunity.

Darnold has probably been the worst QB in the NFL over the past three seasons. I think it's gonna take a little more than just learning the playbook. We aren't exactly just plugging in Aaron Rodgers.

No sh*t.

My point is that he's more ready than any of the rooks coming into a completely different Environment(League) and having to adjust ('cause there will be an adjustment period).

Favre was a bust in Atlanta and went on to be a perennial all pro. It happens.

Say what? Favre was a 2nd round pick in Atlanta who the head coach absolutely did not want. He threw a total of four passes in his one season as a Falcon and was then traded for a 1st round pick to the Packers where he failed his physical due to a degenerative hip condition that Packers doctors thought would prematurely end his career but Packers brass didn't give AF a overruled them because they wanted him THAT bad.

BTW, he can also sling it under duress :

 

The more of these videos I watch the more excited I get. I get that his stats have been abysmal, and everyone has a highlight reel, but I really think he has first round talent. The elephant in the room is whether or not our staff can coach him up to that talent level. If he'd been that bad for anyone but the Jets, I'd be a lot less excited about the upcoming season.

    • I have deep concern that the answer might be both. Reich did a terrible job of catering to Bryce while Bryce just flat out didn't look like he had starting NFL talent.
    • Here is one explanation of Bryce--He has never been the underdog--aways played with a lead, always had the best team, best OL, and usually, the best WRs.   Since high school. Now imagine a bully who punches you in the arm every time he walks by you.  At first, you walk by with confidence and it catches you off guard.  Then you start flinching and taking side steps to avoid the hit.  He still hits you.  This happens for an entire year.  Now think of what you would do if you walked by him and he didn't hit you.  You would still dodge, duck, dip, and dodge, and people would look at you like you were an idiot.  Point: even when Bryce had a clean pocket, he was not confident and he prepared to be hit.  This guy talks about him being out of rhythm etc.  Then he still blames Bryce when he demonstrates that there was no separation and the routes were predictable.  In addition to that,  he mentions that Bryce often had LESS than 2 seconds to throw before getting pressure.  So the Defense knows you have to throw because you are behind--they know what play you are going to run--since they can cover you in man they can rush 7, play man under with cover 1 or 2 support over the top---vs. your 5 OL and a RB who can't block.  Our TEs were not open.  Bozeman decided to suck hard, and we had 9 different players start at both G spots.  Campen sucked, folks--was saying it all year.  So Bryce flenched on the rare occasion that he was protected for more that 2 seconds.  What does flinching look like?  Feet out of position (Cam had the same issue--the brain tells the feet to run), timing off (second guessing due to previous forced errors) etc. Bryce needs to go back to feeling confident in the pocket.  I hope he is not traumatized by 2023.  He has to be second guessing his ability--like you are.  Self-fulfilling prophecy. 
    • Agree, it mattered last year and we got a superstar. We should get a very very good starter this year as well.
